Hairdressing evening.

With a largely reworked eleven that included three French players – Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Christopher Nkunku – Chelsea secured their qualification for the Conference League this Thursday in Geneva. Although Nkunku opened the scoring from a penalty, Servette still won 2-1 with a goal from Enzo Crivelli. In the end, the Swiss only needed a small pawn to push the Blues in overtime.

Puskás Akadémia, for its part, kept the promise made to Fiorentina: despite Moise Kean’s opening goal, the Hungarians pushed their opponents around and snatched extra time thanks to a penalty from Zsolt Nagy in added time (90th + 7). Reduced to 10 with the expulsion of Luca Ranieri (90th + 4), then to 9 with that of Pietro Comuzzo (97th), Fio nevertheless found an escape route at the end of the night with the penalty shootout (1-1, 4-5 TAB).

Betis will also be at the championship stage after their success against Kryvbas (3-0), like Copenhagen, who avoided the trap set by Kilmarnock (1-1). Winner 6-1 in Krakow in the first leg, Cercle Bruges saw the threat of a comeback but resisted Wisla as best they could (1-4). Finally, Saint-Gall managed the feat of eliminating Trabzonspor in Turkey (1-1, 4-5 TAB).

An evening that goes straight to the Hall of Fame.

After a horrible 23rd day, Ligue 1 raised its head this Saturday. Incredible but true, LOSC won at La Mosson (1-2), while Bordeaux provided the minimum service in Savoie (0-1). Otherwise, TFC lost again, and Julien Féret scored again.

No winner in this Mersey derby that was expected to be hot. While both teams had clear chances, the Reds, who hit the post, can have regrets. Just like their captain.

Juventus-Milan and the bonds of destiny

Juventus will face AC Milan again this Saturday, for a match that unfortunately no longer has the same flavor due to the Rossoneri’s torments. Filippo Inzaghi and his men, however, have nothing to lose from their trip to the Juventus Stadium and can instead strike a major blow to break the chains firmly held by the Old Lady.

Atletico humiliates Real and hovers over Madrid

It was an earthquake that struck Real Madrid. Humiliated by the desire of the Colchoneros and the four goals conceded, Ancelotti’s men saw their lead melt away at the top of La Liga. Atlético, led by a splendid Griezmann, offered inextinguishable happiness to its supporters and a newfound suspense at the top of La Liga.

In a rather timid encounter, Stade Rennais and Olympique de Marseille drew in a two-sided draw (1-1). OM took a point and can thank their new teammate, Lucas Ocampos.

Sterling is losing value.

Enzo Maresca was clear on the case of Raheem Sterling during the press conference on the eve of the Europa League play-off against Servette: “I’ve been honest, he won’t get minutes here. I’m not saying Raheem isn’t a good player, but I prefer different types of wingers. It’s simple.” Chelsea’s new manager has thus put an end to speculation about the future of the English winger, who is increasingly seen as a potential departure.

Since his arrival, Maresca has had to deal with a bloated squad of 41 players, including 13 forwards, which makes it difficult to manage playing time. After a disappointing summer preparation and a defeat against Manchester City in the opening of the championship, he clarified his position on the surplus players, including Sterling and Ben Chilwell, saying that they train separately and that it is impossible to satisfy them all.

Maresca explained his strategy as follows: “It’s impossible to keep everyone happy with such a large squad. I work with about 20 players, not 42. Those who want minutes should consider leaving.” A statement that marks a desire to reduce the workforce and tighten up the group to move forward in this new season.

Will this prevent the club from recruiting a dozen or so players before the end of the transfer window? Absolutely not.
